This document discusses two studies that explored incorporating psychological strategies into dietetics practice for head and neck cancer patients. The first study, called Heads Up, found no significant differences in nutrition, depression, or mortality when using psychologists compared to usual care. The second study, called Eating As Treatment (EAT), found promising results when trained dietitians provided cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, including improvements in nutritional status, weight, depression, and treatment interruptions. The document reflects on how training dietitians in screening for depression and using techniques like CBT and MI could help improve nutrition-related outcomes for head and neck cancer patients.
Models Of Health Behaviors By Yusuf Abdu MisauYusuf Misau
The document discusses various models of health behavior that can be used to understand factors influencing human behaviors and to develop health promotion programs. It describes several key models - the Health Belief Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, Transtheoretical Model, Social Cognitive Theory. For each model, it explains the core concepts and assumptions. It also provides case studies and discusses how the models can be applied in clinical practice, research, and program development.
The study summarizes the results of a survey of over 500 individuals who have practiced Isha Yoga for 1-6 years. It found that Isha Yoga, which involves a 21-minute daily practice, provided significant benefits for common health issues - 95% of respondents reported improved depression symptoms, 75% improved back pain, and 71% improved allergies. It also improved inner well-being - 70% increased concentration, 79% higher energy levels, and 91% felt increased inner peace. The study illustrates that Isha Yoga, based on ancient yogic practices, can effectively address modern health concerns.
This document summarizes research on factors that predict and promote resilience in physically ill individuals. It finds that psychological factors like self-esteem, optimism, and mastery are associated with resilience. Effective coping strategies include spirituality, positive appraisal, and benefit finding. Social support from family and friends also predicts resilience. The document reviews studies on specific illnesses and interventions to increase resilience. It concludes that understanding resilience could help improve care and outcomes for physically ill patients.
This study examined the relationships between long sleep duration, emotional distress, BMI, physical activity, and medical comorbidities using data from over 900,000 US adults. The results showed that both higher BMI and greater emotional distress significantly mediated the relationship between long sleep and increased risk of medical comorbidities. However, physical activity did not have a significant mediating effect. The findings suggest that interventions aiming to address medical comorbidities related to long sleep should target reducing BMI and emotional distress.
The document discusses the comprehensive intervention model, which combines medical and psychological treatment approaches. It provides examples like pain management programs and hospice care. Research shows this model can effectively improve conditions like hypertension by addressing lifestyle factors and medication adherence. The connection between mental and physical health is undeniable, so treatment should holistically address both to maximize outcomes. Neglecting either aspect can delay healing or cause further issues. A comprehensive approach is therefore preferred for treating all patients regardless of illness severity.
1. The study examined how psychosocial factors impact fertility treatment outcomes. It found that women's age negatively impacted the number of eggs retrieved, while active-confronting and passive-avoidance coping strategies also decreased egg retrieval.
2. No psychosocial factors significantly predicted seminal defect.
3. Younger female age and males using active-confronting coping strategies (focusing on information-seeking and problem-solving) increased the likelihood of pregnancy, with active-confronting coping increasing the odds of pregnancy by 3.73 times.
The document summarizes research on the use of meditation in therapy. It discusses how meditation can positively impact those with mental illness both physically and mentally by helping to reduce stress, anxiety and tension. It reviews three studies that showed how meditation can increase control over brain functions, build hope and a sense of support in those with spiritual experiences, and that patients and doctors recognize the importance of spiritual elements like meditation in healing. It concludes that meditation can be beneficial for those with mental illnesses by helping to make their lives more fulfilling.
This study examined the effects of intrathecal baclofen (ITB) treatment on caregiver quality of life for children with cerebral palsy. The researchers hypothesized that caregiver physical, psychological, social, and environmental quality of life would improve from pre- to post-ITB treatment at 6 months and be sustained at 24 months. Quality of life was measured before and after ITB treatment. The results found no significant increases in caregiver quality of life domains over time. While some individuals may have benefited, on average ITB did not significantly impact caregiver quality of life. The conclusions were that caregiver quality of life appears stable following a child's ITB treatment.
This document provides information on chronic illness in adolescents including:
- Chronic illnesses are long-lasting health conditions that impact physical, mental, and social well-being. Examples include asthma, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Approximately 20-30% of adolescents in the US have a chronic illness, with 10-13% reporting substantial limitations. Depression and non-adherence to treatment plans are common issues.
- Several assessment tools are recommended to evaluate an adolescent's medical history, illness impact, depression, anxiety, quality of life, and treatment adherence.
- Suggested intervention strategies include cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge irrational thoughts and beliefs, develop coping skills, and improve treatment adherence.
This document discusses three studies on the benefits of mental fitness and spirituality. The first study found that practicing qigong for several hours daily resolved a patient's various medical conditions without medication. The second study showed that incorporating spirituality into substance abuse treatment helped patients shift to a more positive outlook. The third study demonstrated that a 20-week contemplative self-healing program improved cancer patients' quality of life and reduced distress. Overall, the document advocates that mental focus and spirituality can benefit mental health and longevity.
The document provides an introduction and overview of back disorders and low back pain. It discusses several key points in 3 sentences:
Back pain is highly prevalent and causes major disability. A variety of individual, psychosocial, and occupational factors can increase the risk of developing back pain. Recent research also indicates there are important genetic factors influencing severe low back pain and certain genes have been associated with lumbar disc disease.
The document discusses a 1981 study by Kanner et al that examined the relationship between daily hassles, uplifts, and illness over a one year period in 100 men and women aged 45-64. The study found that daily hassles correlated more strongly with illness and psychological problems than major life events. However, the sample size was small and only included older participants, limiting how generalizable the findings are. Overall, the study provided practical insights into how daily irritations can impact health but had some methodological limitations.
The document provides an overview of the Health Belief Model (HBM). It was developed in the 1950s to explain why people do or do not engage in health-promoting behaviors. The HBM posits that individuals will take action to prevent or control illness if they feel susceptible to a condition, believe it could have serious consequences, believe a course of action can reduce susceptibility or seriousness, and feel the benefits outweigh the costs. The model's key components are perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers. Cues to action and self-efficacy were later added. The HBM is applied to develop health messages focusing on threat, coping responses, and self-efficacy to influence health behaviors. While useful
The document outlines objectives and concepts related to health, wellness, and disease. It discusses various definitions and models of health, including the World Health Organization's definition of health as complete physical, mental and social well-being. It describes dimensions of wellness, factors influencing health, and differences between illness and disease. Stages of illness and approaches to health maintenance are also summarized. Key health indicators in Pakistan like infant mortality rate and life expectancy are listed.
An activity monitor-based intervention was tested on 10 sedentary older adults over 6 weeks. Participants wore an activity monitor and received a tablet with weekly counseling. Fitness significantly improved as measured by the 6-minute walk test, increasing their distance walked by over 50 feet. However, there was no significant change in moderate physical activity. Participants significantly improved their exercise-related goal setting and planning. The intervention was found to be feasible and acceptable for this population. The monitoring nature of the devices may help with goal setting and planning to increase physical activity levels in older adults.
The health belief model is a social psychological health behavior change model developed to explain and predict health-related behaviors, particularly in regard to the uptake of health services.

Obesity obesity and mental health 11-may-2015WALID SARHAN
Obesity is often associated with stigma and considered undesirable, while leanness is viewed as beautiful. There is a complex relationship between physical health and mental health in relation to obesity. Several studies have found that obese individuals have a higher risk of developing mental illnesses like depression and anxiety compared to normal weight individuals, and the relationship between obesity and mental illness appears to go both ways. Certain antidepressants and antipsychotic medications are also known to cause weight gain, which can further exacerbate the issue.
Fricchione psychosomatic medicine in mental healthjasonharlow
This document discusses the global burden of mental illness and the role that psychosomatic medicine can play in addressing it, particularly in Africa. It notes that mental disorders account for 13% of the global burden of disease and reviews strategies like integrating mental health treatment into primary care. Psychosomatic medicine is well-suited to contribute through its expertise in managing co-morbid medical and psychiatric conditions and working at the interface of different medical fields. The document argues that training consultation-liaison psychiatrists could help address Africa's lack of psychiatric resources and lack of treatment for co-occurring conditions.
Dr Nicassio Presents "Coping with Lupus" at Lupus LA's Annual Patient Educat...LupusNY
The document discusses future trends and challenges in managing chronic illnesses like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It outlines a shift from solely biomedical models of care to biopsychosocial models that address psychological and social factors in addition to disease. Improving health-related quality of life is emphasized over just controlling disease. Developing patient skills and resilience is important for long-term self-management of SLE. Interdisciplinary collaboration integrating behavioral science and medicine is needed to best help patients.
A brief overview for a general healthcare audience on the challenges of nutritional epidemiology, diet and how studies of prevention & treatment are not interchangeable.
This document discusses depression, including its definition, signs, prevalence among various medical illnesses, drugs that can cause it, and treatment options. Regarding treatment, it describes both pharmacological (antidepressant medications) and nonpharmacological (psychotherapy like CBT, IPT, PDT) approaches. It notes that current antidepressant therapy has limitations like slow onset of action and inadequate response for many patients. Psychotherapy techniques aim to help patients identify and change inaccurate perceptions as well as improve communication skills and self-esteem. The overall message is that depression management requires comprehensive assessment, formulation of an individualized treatment plan including medications and therapy, and proactive follow-up to prevent relapse.
The document discusses depression, somatization disorders, and their treatment. For somatization disorder, cognitive behavioral therapy and tricyclic antidepressants can be effective treatments. Symptoms can be evaluated before and during treatment using the PHQ-15 questionnaire. Depression is associated with changes in neurotransmitters like serotonin and treatments include SSRIs, psychotherapy, and evaluating response using scales like the HAM-D. Reducing stigma around depression involves education about mental health and advocating for greater rights. For adolescent depression, CBT and SSRIs are commonly used treatments, with education about potential increased suicide risks from antidepressants.
This document discusses hepatitis and depression. It provides epidemiological data on hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection worldwide and discusses how depression is more common in HCV patients compared to the general population. It outlines the overlap in symptoms between HCV adverse effects and depression. The document then discusses risk factors for depression during HCV therapy, potential mechanisms including impacts on cytokines and the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, and treatment guidelines for managing depression in patients receiving HCV therapy including the use of antidepressants.

Course Paper Outline
A. Introduction
a. Topic sentence: GAD Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves persistent worry
for at least 6 months, along with feelings of apprehension about day-to-day events.
This disorder also causes physiological symptoms that effects social and occupational
functioning (Arul, 2016).
b. Those with this disorder are known to be high health care utilizers because they visit
their primary care physician very often (Culpepper, 2014).
c. More than 24 million people ages 15-54 suffer from anxiety disorders, costing the
U.S billions every year (Culpepper, 2014).
d. This is a crisis for the mental health industry because in many cases, anxiety can
effect daily functioning and lead to other problems. It can cause decreased work
productivity, missed days from work, and even unemployment (Culpepper, 2014).
B. Theme 1: Causes
a. Topic sentence: There are different reasons as to why people may develop this
disorder.
b. One study was conducted of 30 participants with GAD. They were male and female
ages 15-46. They were compared to 30 individuals that did not have this condition.
Several scales were used (Arul, 2016).
c. As a result, those with GAD went through more negative life events than the other
group. Family conflict was the biggest issue, along with marital problems, trouble
with neighbors, and sexual issues (Arul, 2016). This shows that negative life events
may be a possible cause of GAD in some people.

Coronary Circulation and Ischemic Heart Disease_AntiCopy.pdfMedicoseAcademics
In this lecture, we delve into the intricate anatomy and physiology of the coronary blood supply, a crucial aspect of cardiac function. We begin by examining the physiological anatomy of the coronary arteries, which lie on the heart's surface and penetrate the cardiac muscle mass to supply essential nutrients. Notably, only the innermost layer of the endocardial surface receives direct nourishment from the blood within the cardiac chambers.
We then explore the specifics of coronary circulation, including the dynamics of blood flow at rest and during strenuous activity. The impact of cardiac muscle compression on coronary blood flow, particularly during systole and diastole, is discussed, highlighting why this phenomenon is more pronounced in the left ventricle than the right.
Regulation of coronary circulation is a complex process influenced by autonomic and local metabolic factors. We discuss the roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, emphasizing the dominance of local metabolic factors such as hypoxia and adenosine in coronary vasodilation. Concepts like autoregulation, active hyperemia, and reactive hyperemia are explained to illustrate how the heart adjusts blood flow to meet varying oxygen demands.
Ischemic heart disease is a major focus, with an exploration of acute coronary artery occlusion, myocardial infarction, and subsequent physiological changes. The lecture covers the progression from acute occlusion to infarction, the body's compensatory mechanisms, and the potential complications leading to death, such as cardiac failure, pulmonary edema, fibrillation, and cardiac rupture.
We also examine coronary steal syndrome, a condition where increased cardiac activity diverts blood flow away from ischemic areas, exacerbating the condition. The long-term impact of myocardial infarction on cardiac reserve is discussed, showing how the heart's capacity to handle increased workloads is significantly reduced.
Angina pectoris, a common manifestation of ischemic heart disease, is analyzed in terms of its causes, presentation, and referred pain patterns. We identify factors that exacerbate anginal pain and discuss both medical and surgical treatment options.
Finally, the lecture includes a case study to apply theoretical knowledge to a practical scenario, helping students understand the real-world implications of coronary circulation and ischemic heart disease. The role of biochemical factors in cardiac pain and the interpretation of ECG changes in myocardial infarction are also covered.

Hepatocarcinoma today between guidelines and medical therapy. The role of sur...Gian Luca Grazi
Today more than ever, hepatocellular carcinoma therapy is experiencing profound and substantial changes.
The association atezolizumab (ATEZO) plus bevacizumab (BEVA) has demonstrated its effectiveness in the post-operative treatment of patients, improving the results that can be achieved with liver resections. This after the failure of the use of sorafenib in the already historic STORM study.
On the other hand, the prognostic classification of BCLC is now widely questioned. It is now well recognized that the indications for surgery for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are certainly narrow in BCLC and no longer reflect what is common everyday clinical practice.
Today, the concept of multiparametric therapeutic hierarchy, which makes the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma much more flexible and allows the best therapy for the individual patient to be identified based on their clinical characteristics, is gaining more and more importance.
The presentation traces these profound changes that are taking place in recent years and offers a modern vision of the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
